“No North Korean warships have been detected, and there is no possibility of their approaching the waters where the accident took place.” Because we all know that a surface ship can't possible escape detection, and that its even more impossible for a submarine to escape notice, and midget submarines couldn't have possibly operated in the area... "If a single torpedo or a floating mine caused a naval patrol vessel to split in half and sink, we will have to rewrite our military doctrine," Nonsense. en.wikipedia.org The ship in that picture is HMAS Torrens a 2700 ton destroyer escort. en.wikipedia.org The ROKS Cheonan was less than half that size Displacement: 1,200 tonnes en.wikipedia.org The CHT-02D torpedo used in the attack on the Cheonan has a similar sized warhead to the Mark 48 used to sink the Torrens. -------------- WHOEVER failed to erase the words “Number One” in blue Korean script etched inside the propulsion shaft of a deadly torpedo may well be in deep trouble in Pyongyang. On May 15th a ship dredging the site of the attack on a South Korean warship in March that killed 46 seamen made a spectacular find: propellers, motors and a steering section that international investigators say “perfectly match” those of a CHT-02D torpedo that North Korea sells abroad. What’s more, the blue marking was similar to one on a previously captured North Korean torpedo. This was as close to a smoking gun as the South Koreans could have hoped to find. The discovery, combined with intelligence reports indicating North Korean submarines were out of port during the attack, allowed the investigators to conclude on May 20th that the Cheonan “was sunk as the result of an external underwater explosion caused by a torpedo made in North Korea.” Or as one person close to the investigation succinctly put it: “It was either the North Koreans, or it was the Martians.” economist.com --- "The torpedo had a warhead from 200-300 kilograms of RDX and produced an under-the-keel explosion at a depth of 6 to 9 meters, roughly 3 meters left of the center of the ship’s gas turbine room." defencetalk.com
